OUR ENGLISH LETTER.

Our London letter contains several
points of interest to this country. 1t
SCENT that the reported action of the
United States Senate regarding the
Pearl Harbor project produced an I'M
favorable effect upon Hawaiian securi-
ties, and Mr. Manley Hopkins at once
rushed to the rescue through the
Times" We cannot say, however,
that we think his letter one which car
ries with it much weight. Mr.. Hopkins
was for lns my years Consul-General for
this KingN ON at London, and his late
brother occupied a Cabinet office in
Honolulu, and enjoyed the confidence
of the third and fourth Kameharnehas :;
but with these special advantages for
obtaining information, Mr.. Manlev
Hopkins appears to be at sea when
writing about Pearl Harbor. Just how
it's occupation would close the Pacific
Ocean to the commerce OF the world is
one Of those things no fellow can find
out, as "Dundreary' might say. The
occupation and Notification of Halifax
and Esquimault Harbor by the British
has not interfered with American com
merce even on the Atlantic or Pacific,
mHch less therefore would American oc-
eupation of Pearl Harbor, situated over
two thousand miles from any British
possession, produce the dire conse-
ouences which Mr.. Manley Hopkins an
ticipates. The truth is, the international
danger argument is all nonsense as ap-
piled to the United States, and
is simply ridiculous as Mr.. Marley
Hopkins, now Hawaiian Consul, presents
t. Ii no more tangible objection than

COSnlOralma.

Last evening the members Of the press
were invited to view a cosmorama at
the Astor House, Hotel street. 1t con-
sists of twenty beautiful pictures en-
larged by means OF powerful lenses.
The transparencies are particularly fine.
There are also four microscopes with re-
volving pictures, in all two hundred pic

efforts will be crowned with success as
the cosmorama is new thing here, and
it is certainly well worth seeing.

ISLAND NOTES.

HAMAKUA, Hawaii, February 25th.
There is very little news to chronicle
at this point Everything is moving
steadily along in the old groove, and
were the roads better and the price of
sugar higher considerably than it is
there would be little cause for grumb-
ling.
The new vacuum pan has been work
ing satisfactorily at Honokaa.
l understand that some plant cane OF
I, Mr. Horner's, at Kukuaile, averaged
nine tons to the acre. Some second
ratoons at the same place ran as high as
five tons to the acre.
All the sugar mills in this district are
running now and doing good work.

SANITARY AFFAIRS.

There is great deal of sickness in
the city, and should the long continued
wet weather be followed by long spell
OF heat, disease will spread and deaths
increase. For a very considerable time
past the mortality tables showed an I'M
satisfactory state of things Deaths
from preventible causes were frequent,
and infant mortality had become alarm
ing. Such a death record suggested nat
urally low general average of health,
the result mainly of bad or defective
sanitary conditions. Impure water,
polluted air, fetid pools, and fostering
muck heaps, added to muddy roads and
streets, naturally lower the vital tone
and predispOse to disease. The weaker
fall victims most readily, and many of
them die, while those having the charge
of sanitary matters look ON passively
and make no effort worth mention to
preserve the public health.
The outlook is by no means promising,
although we have two Boards of Health
in full blast, and will soon have a long
roll of duly licensed Hawaiian physicians
in addition to the very able scientific
gentlemen who have heretofore prac-
ticed medicine in this Kingdom. In
stead of all this tending to check disease
we look with apprehension to the future
when the native people are subjected to
the unskilful treatment of ignorant and
irresponsible persons of their own race
1t is hopeless to expect henceforwarG
that native Hawaiians will abandon theil
faith in Kahunas when the Legislature
has expressly legalized at least one-hal
of their methods of practice.
But what concerns the public most tC
know is what the old Board of Health is
prepared to do towards improving the
sanitary condition of the city. There is
pressing need for prompt and energetic
action. Should an epidemic break ou
under existing sanitary conditions, the
mortality would be very great, and the
country cannot afford to waste lives
Over-pOpulation is not one of the evils
of which this Kingdom has to complain
Want of people is the drawback, and
those who are here should not be sacri

Following is the letter referred to by
our correspondent:
PEARL RIVER HARBoR, HAWAII.

PEARL RIVER HARBoR, HAWAII.
To the Editor of the Times Sir
Though no longer officially connected with
the Hawaiian Government, l cannot see
without alarm the proposal in the United
States Senate for acquiring Pearl River
Harbor as Il set-off for the continuance of
a commercial reciprocity treaty with those
islands.
Pearl River Harbor is intercepted from
the ocean by bar principally composed of
coral rock. When by any enterprise this
bar is cut through the largest navy in the
world could lie safely within its harbor.
The United States have long desired a con
cession of this important position. Eng
land, Russia, Germany and France are all
concerned that no such concession should
be permitted. Admitted States navy sta
toned there has the North Pacific in its
grasp. Our own possessions on the north
west coast of America and the Russian
settlements above them, with their road
eastward to Japan, China, etc, could be
cut off from exit and entrance. The gift
Ola protraction of the American reciprocity
treaty concerns the sugar growers on Ha-
wall and the sugar refiners and consumers
of San Francisco only. The grant OF
Pearl Harbor deeply concerns the nations
of the world 1 am, sir, yours faithfully,
MANLEY HOPKINS.

 A few years ago thers was an old lake cap- tain who was an inveterate reader of the se- rial papers. He would become interested in story, and the day when each fresh install ment reached him was one of joy. At one time he was wrapped up In lurid tale enti- tied "The Doge of Venice."

 Ex-Senator Tabor, of Colorado, the mil ionaire mine owner and of $250 nightshirt notoriety, has just built new opera house at Leadville, meant to be finer than the one at
 Denver. A few days ago Tabor employed an
 artist to fresco the walls. While he was at
 work on the portrait of Shakespeare, Tabor entered the building and asked who it was the artist was painting. Shakespeare" was the reply. ''Who is he?' "The greatest
 dramatist, poet, etc., that ever lived" Ever do anything for Leadville?' 'No, I think not" replied the artist sadly. "Then paint him right out and put me in."-Des Moines Saturday Mail.

IS THIS COUNTRY roo FREEa

AS kH4S HOO
 The great flow of foreigners to this. coun- try this year has revived discussion of a very important question. It is seriously and gen. orally asked, Can we afford to continue to let 'sthe oppressed of all nations'' come here as they have been coning2 Whatever disa- greement there may be in answering this question there will be none concerning the undesirability of such immigrants as those which arrived at Philadelphia on the steamer Scandinavia Sunday night. On this steamer there were one hundred immigrants from the west of Ireland whose passage had been paid by the governments representatives. After sixteen of them had evaded the inspectors the remaining members of the party were detained by the commissioners for examina- tion. It appears that the landlords of the district from which these immigrants came were requested to make lists of persons who were unable to earn living and whom the local authorities were unwilling to support, and that to each of the persons whose names were thus reported the government gave 6 steerage ticket for a passage to America and draft on New York for $5 or $10.
 Such incidents as these will do not little to add to the discussion of the immigrant question. It is undeniable that as the New York Times says: The admission of thou sands who do not become citizens, but intend to return to Europe after having saved the earnings of three or four years, and of many whose avowed purpose is to overthrow our institutions; the crowding of our almshouses and insane asylums with the refuse of Eu- rope; a conviction that our workmen furnish an ample supply of labor for our industries, and that the remnant of our public lands should be reserved for those who are now citizens-these and other considerations have led a great part of our people to the conclu- sion that immigration, even under the re- strictions which rigid enforcement of exist ing laws would impose, is not blessing.

Use of Toilet Soap.

Hester M Poole in Good Housekeeping
 The opinion that of such a necessary ar
 ticle as soap for the toilet one cannot use
 too much is an opinion which late re-
 searches in science disprove. The attrac-
 ton of the alkai in it for the oil of the
 skin as well as for it's unclean accumula-
 tions constitutes it's cleansing property.
 Out of the seven million pores through which nearly two pounds of poisonous ex-
 halation daily pass from the adult come
 enough material in short time to pro-
 duce fatal and filthy diseases. An eminent
 physician has declared that eff the skin be
 moderately active, three or four days sut-
 fee to form layer which may be con-
 pared to a thin coating of varnish or sig
 ing.' As this accumulation increases and
 decomposition follows it is not necessary to describe the result. What agency but soap can remove 1t?
 Many good authorities declare that water alone is sufficient except at rare intervals There are oil-glands as we'll as e1cretory ducts, and for no idle purpose has nature ! produced these tiny human oil wells. In unction, or the external use of oil has a recognized place among the prescriptions of some famous modern physicians, who in this way seek to restore that necessary property of which the body has been de prived by the excessive use of soap or by disease. They claim that it enables the pa tient to resist cold that it's nutritive qual- ities convey heat to those organs which re- quire it. that it gives a sense of exhilara- ting freshness, and that it is not only soothing in cases of nervousness and depres- sion, but is capable of strengthening weak lungs. For this purpose almond oil, cocoa nut, olive oil or vaseline are daily applied by the aid of vigorous rubbing. To all such treatment and in most cases where inunc- tion is not required, the daily application of soap is in furious.
 "What uncleanly habits!" some one ex- claims. Not so. Plenty of seft water, a coarse wash-rag, hand friction and turkish towel, with soap applied at rare intervals, and the skin should retain the delicate smoothness of infant. Those milk baths indulged in by the ancient Roman emperors and expresses owed their emollient proper ties to the oil contained in the milk. Every old nurse knows too that weakly children are sometimes injured by too frequent ablu- tions. Dry rubbing is often the safest opiate for 8 nervous little one answering many of the purposes of soap.
 An eminent physician and scientist lately told me that he seldom used soap in his dai- 1 ly bath. ''It makes the skin dry, hard and harsh, and renders me more liable to take cold through any changes of the weather, i" said he. "At the same time no rule can be given for the use of soap. Some persons SC crete oil much more readily than others, and to such soap is more of a necessity" and he spoke much upon the desirability of using 8 pure soap or none at all.
